Each week, a different transfer station employee would write up a stimulating and informed class plan for next Wednesday's 55 minute, 1:30 class.
Plus, doing some down & dirty transfer station work could be a good 'lesson in life' for fifth graders and encourage them to be better students. Plus, it would no doubt be a good challenge for the transfer station crew and make their job more interesting.
Ok, maybe 5th grade is way too young, and better to try it with say 8th graders. Doesn't eighth grade have an industrial arts program like woodworking, metal working and printing? The transfer station is already in place, staffed, and ready-to-go as a new "classroom."

No. Wrong - very wrong.
Working at a transfer station isn't a "low-life" profession. These guys work in dangerous conditions, in all kinds of weather, and have to meet certain standards for how these materials are sorted. They're an asset to the town and I hope the town pays them appropriately. They do get good benefits. I am very appreciative of the job they do - they save the town big bucks by recycling - you have no idea...
I'm appalled at your attitude with this... geez! Get a grip, man.
